Hammer Distribution enters strategic partnership with Stormshield

Hammer Distribution has entered into a new strategic partnership with the European cybersecurity provider Stormshield. Through the agreement, Hammer becomes a key distributor of Stormshield's portfolio of next-generation firewalls (NGFW).

The partnership will strengthen access to advanced security solutions for resellers and system integrators as demand for robust and flexible cybersecurity infrastructure continues to increase.

Focus on European cybersecurity and data sovereignty

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, the need for security solutions that offer high transparency and strong data protection also increases. Hammer Distribution states that the collaboration with Stormshield strengthens the company's commitment to delivering "best-of-breed" cybersecurity solutions to the channel.

Stormshield's network security solutions have several European and international certifications, including: EU Restricted, NATO Restricted and ANSSI, making them particularly relevant for organizations with high demands on data security and regulatory compliance.

”A level of security that is unusual in the market”

– We are incredibly proud to welcome Stormshield to the Hammer family, says Dominic Ryles at Hammer Distribution.

He believes that today's market demands security solutions that partners and customers can fully trust.

“In an era of evolving cyber threats, our partners need security solutions they can trust. Stormshield offers a level of assurance and European engineering expertise that is rare in the market. This partnership is not only about broadening our offering, but also about giving our resellers a stronger position in the rapidly growing cybersecurity market,” he says.

Will create new opportunities for retailers

According to the companies, the partnership will open new business opportunities for Hammer's network of resellers and system integrators.

Among the advantages are:

• The opportunity to offer a European alternative to traditional US-based firewall providers
• Technical pre-sales support and assistance with proof-of-concept (PoC) projects
• Specialized training for partners
• Scalable NGFW solutions for both smaller businesses and larger industrial OT environments

Stormshield solutions include both hardware-based and virtual firewalls for different types of infrastructures and security needs.

Wants to accelerate growth in the region

– We are happy to collaborate with Hammer Distribution, says Bertrand Trastour, Head of Global Sales at Stormshield.

He describes Hammer as a partner with strong technical expertise and a proactive focus on channel development.

“Hammer is the right partner to help us accelerate our growth in the region. Together, we want to help the channel manage increasingly complex security challenges,” he says.

The partnership is effective immediately and Stormshield's complete portfolio of hardware and virtual NGFW solutions is now available through Hammer Distribution.
